>>2008982Vectors are generally smoother and cleaner than raster images. When vectoring we can correct mistakes in the original and make adjustments to improve the image.
An important part of this is to not always trace the image perfectly. Use your better judgement and ask yourself: "does this look good to me?" Forget about the original. It's not the end result - your version of it is. And there is nothing forcing you to replicate the same problems of the original except yourself.
So my advice here is: look at the lines - 'should this be wavy, or smooth, or sharp"
do I need these extra nodes, just for curiosity's sake, let's try removing some"
Am I really done? Better look at it with a fresh eye after a small break"
Stuff like that. Also, if you want to just improve your general vectoring skills I'd check out the vector thread every so often
